Love Story
Mouskouri Nana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where do I begin to tell the story
Of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love he brings to me

Where do I start?
With his first hello
He gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
They'll never be another love another time
He came into my life and made the living fine

He fills my heart
He fills my soul with very special things
With angel songs and wild imaginings
He fills my soul with so much love
That any where I go I'm never lonely
With him around who could be lonely
I reach for his hand
He's always there

How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now
But this much I can say




I know I'll need him until the stars all burn away
And he'll be there
